Save a slice for me

Okay, it was not my intention to create another post with a pie-esque slant, so forgive me.

One of today's graphic design projects was to create a fillable PDF. I'm sure you've experienced these before, the IRS has been using them for years to ease tax paperwork (and reduce calculation errors). They allow a user to enter field data in the form right on the computer, flushing the lost art of actual readable penmanship. The problem with fillable PDFs is that the end-user cannot save the form. They are limited to printing the form only, when using the free Adobe Reader. Certainly there is a solution, but it comes at a price. For Mac user's there is an easy (read free) solution. Since the migration to UNIX based OS X, every release of ten allowed you to print to a PDF file from any OS X application. Obviously you'd need to use Preview since Adobe Reader does not allow you "re-save" a PDF file, even if you are printing it. Your result will be a completed PDF file that you can send off via email. (Sorry Windows users, there is no such embedded solution for your platform.)

The question is, what kind of pie would a fillable PDF be? I'd guess Apple. And not French Apple either. Good 'ole American Apple Pie. Save a slice for me.

So yes. We create fillable PDF files, and you'd be surprised at just how cheap it is.

This has been today's clarified butter.
